PlayStation Studios |OT41| Preserving Democracy until the Next Showcase
- Thread starter JuanLatino
- Start date
- Sony OT
I feel like if it was just a Lego set the people who reported on it would have clarified already. I'm expecting it to be the open world Sumo Digital game.
Two CEO's? Where have I head this before.....
We will see how things play out. At least the temp CEO wasn't in for too long.
Haters in shambles.
Horizon Developer Guerrilla Games Says It Has 16 Plans in the Pipeline, “We’re Going to Be Continuing It for a Very Long While”
Horizon developer Guerrilla Games is looking to expand the franchise for a long time to come with plans for many more projects in the works.www.thefpsreview.com
They had banger press conferences almost the entirety of last generation too. I'm not just talking about the PS5 era
"As part of our growing synergy with Sony Corporation, here is the world debut trailer of the upcoming Marvel hit, Kraven!"
Horizon games keep selling well, getting great reviews and sequels, while winning awards and new fans.Two CEO's? Where have I head this before.....

Haters:
Well, I couldn' be more wrong. I predicted Hermen leaving PS till the end of year, LOL.
Hermen will probably continue doing that, the press release states that he will still be responsible for the development, publishing and business operations of 1st party games.
So Basically Hermen is in charge of the "Play" while Hideaki is in charge of the "Station"?
There is a potential OT title in this...

Ah you're probably right. With the splitting of CEO duties that makes sense.
I'm actually taking over that position as of July 1st. Do you have any game suggestions that I can pass along?
Here's the thing: if the primary combat system in your game involves aiming ranged weapons at targets and shooting them, I consider it a shooter. I don't know why that's controversial. I would say Ghostwire Tokyo is a shooter too and that game involves firing projectiles out of your magic hands.
It's about the central way you interact with opponents in combat.
Knack 3
Knack Fortnite skin
Knack movie
LEGO Knack
Knack Vs Capcom
and if the primary gameplay loop of a particular game is decidedly not combat you'd still consider that a shooter, so I have absolutely no idea where you draw the line.
I'm 90% sure there will be a showcase this month.
And I'm 99% sure that part of Sony's statement is exclusively talking about the business meeting.

Interesting that Nishino will be in charge of third party relations and indies. (So Shu and Rice will be under him).
Reminds me of the PSX days were hardware and third party relations for that hardware was important. Still is but now you have the focus split so that each CEO excels on what they are known for.

Hey, Sony Music was the one who helped make PlayStation in the first place. Of course they're incredibly bloodthirsty and want to control all music, but still.
I'm really not particularly excited for the future of Sony's third party relations, especially now that it looks like Square finally got fed up with PS exclusivity. Just kinda feels like there's no one left for them to partner with that'll make waves. Even Square's exclusives didn't really do much of anything for the platform (or the games themselves, looking at their sales performance), so it's an odd place to be in.
But maybe Nishino can convince Miyazaki to do another co-production, I guess? Can't really think of anything else Sony could do third party-wise that'd be particularly exciting. Everyone has (honestly, probably CORRECTLY, given the current industry climate) embraced multiplatform.
if Sony has a From collab then it was likely inked way before even the PS5 was launched, going by how Ronin was 2015
possibly soon after BloodBorne's release
|OT42| Reign of PlayStation 2 (CEOs)
I think it's an interesting direction. I don't know if Hulst has done enough in his promoted role prior to actually provide us with a lot of confidence. Not saying he did bad either..I just can't think of anything of note that I would allude to him in his overall head of WWS position. Perhaps I am forgetting

I can still yell at you about your said plans if you want
I wouldn't use Ronin as a rubric for this, since Sony and Team Ninja's working relationship is really specific. Bloodborne wasn't a deal they signed and then sat on for half a decade. TN on the other hand has been doing these kinds of EXTREMELY long-tail deals with Sony since the PS3 reveal.
Personally, it feels like third party relations needs to be overwhelmingly supporting smaller studios that are producing unique content, rather than massive big budget titles and paying what I assume is exorbitant bags of money to lock down for limited periods of time.
I dunno. I don't like the sound of the yelling.
I'm sure it would be Bloodborne this, Uncharted that.Pfft...not happening.
I would green light a sequel to Primal.
Probably, yeah. Which is a shame for me personally, because I didn't pay a ton of money for a PS5 to play indie games I can beat in a single play session. I bought it for stuff that's only possible on PS, and that's...been a real minimum so far this generation.
Honestly ever since I got my PC, I've been gaming less and less on PS5 outside of the exclusive RPGs Sony manages to lock down, and I don't think we're ever going to see another RPG out of Sony given the climate of the genre these days. It feels like a genre that could really only get play if Sony, personally, chooses to invest a ton of money in it, and it doesn't seem like they're interested in funding the CREATION of new RPG IP.. And now that the third party moneyhats have dried up, I guess that's the end of it entirely. I don't really see a future for the genre with Sony.
Who knows? It's a shame, but honestly "it's a shame" really feels like the theme of this entire generation, not just with Sony. Layoffs, cancellations, consolidation, acquisitions, Embracer as a whole, the entire state of the world right now. It's a shame.
Yes but we had Hermen include FROM in an interview they did in 2020 when talking about collabs including Team Ninja and Kojima.
Game development is long so even if it wasn't right after BB they intent could've been discussed and for all we know they could've been in incubation while ER was still in active development as well.
Who knows what happens behind close doors afterall.
